Surprises/observations after only the first 2 games:
Both Shlemko and Rundblad have played better than expected and an argument could be made that they both deserve regular roster spots.
Yandle, Z and Klesla have not played as well as expected.
Yandle has been brutal.
Morris has been a stud.
Smith has been sub par.
Sullivan needs to prove he can contribute. Has looked out of place so far.
Moss has worked hard and looks like a good addition.
Boedker and Korpi working hard and are playing well.
Doan, Vrby, Gordon playing well.
Hanzal needs to improve, poor on faceoffs.
Vermette has been OK, good on faceoffs.
Overall, turnovers in our end and neutral zone have cost us both games.
It's only 2 games but we need to tighten things up in a hurry.
